I learned yesterday that even if a student has a full ride and other scholarships. That certain rules prohibit the student to receive the reward, because the check has to be signed to the university no matter what. I was informed it was due to regulations. So the student will never use that money or see it. The University now has the right to it. There are situations that the check can be made out to the student, but my friend got bamboozled and he did not know. He has a full ride, because of football. He also has an impeccable academic history. So he received other scholarships. Well one of the organizations that awarded him a 10,000 scholarship wrote it out the check to the university. Obviously he has a full ride, so it is not going towards his tuition and now its the property of the university and he can not get it back.
So if you have a full ride and receive other scholarships ask the organization if they can write the check out to you. Parents reading this inform your kids.
